Enjoy It While It Lasts is the debut studio album by English indie rock band Spector, released on 13 August 2012. It follows the singles "Chevy Thunder" and "Celestine", which were released on Luv Luv Luv Records during 2012. The album reached number 12 in the UK Albums Chart, and went to number 1 on the Official Record Store Chart on the week of its release.

Upon its release, Enjoy It While It Lasts received mixed reviews. Some, notably NME, praised its harking back to a lost age of "indie disco" akin to the triumvirate of The Killers, The Strokes and Razorlight. Yet from others, there was a sense of disapproval at the seemingly shallow façade of "makeweight chugging alt-rock,". Particular attention has been paid to the lyrics, with the Quietus describing "whip-smart words," while according to the Observer's Hermione Hoby, they create a "unique blend of hubris and humour."Digital Spy also praised the lyrical work of lead singer Fred MacPherson, commenting "there's a self-deprecating wit to his wordplay that makes Spector all the more bewitching."

All tracks written by Frederick MacPherson, except where noted.
